Abandoned BP With Tons Of Stuff Inside Car Wash Bridgeville, Pa *DEMOLISHED*

[@Tarantulisimo]

UPDATE: This BP was completely demolished last fall. In it's place they are building a Mattress Warehouse, scheduled to open by this summer. 3-5 years ago, that intersection & the surrounding area had numerous abandoned places.

There was an Exxon gas station right across from this BP. It closed down in 2013, and it got demolished. It became a Starbucks and a Chiplote.

As of August 2018, there are currently twenty new Amoco locations in the states of New York, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, and Illinois, with more locations opening soon in more states. ~ Wikipedia

[@Tarantulisimo]

the BP is now gone -- replaced by a Mattress Factory. Most of the abandoned businesses at that end of Bridgeville/SF have been either torn down & repurposed -- but at one point, the general area boasted an abandoned plant, the abandoned BP, an abandoned Burger King, an abandoned Texaco, an abandoned church, & an abandoned Knight's Inn...The abandoned Kings across the street remains abandoned, & an an abandoned dry cleaners has been added. That McDonald's directly across from the BP has been remodeled.

Viper Jay 5 damage purposes then you can lie and say car wash damaged your car

[@phoenixvanlife1686]

Some states/municipalities require gas station companies to replace the underground tanks depending on their age. The cost of digging up the old ones and remediation of any leaks or spills and placing new tanks, is prohibitive. Easier to cash out, hide the money, declare bankruptcy, then start a new company and build a new station somewhere else.

[@TheBlueRoan316]

As a UST regulator in my state, I see this kind of situation all the time.

[@Deathtofrogleghorn]

Our family owned a gas station down south and that’s what did it in.

[@LindsAyWithAttitude]

Great video! I loved how you apologized about the sun and glare but it didnt even affect the video negatively lol, you did a great job showing the inside without being in there. :-)

Another fuel brand that used to be widespread is ARCO. They were all over the northeast when I was a kid, but they all became something else, or just closed up shop, 30-35 years ago. I thought that they went of business, but every time I would see a Dodgers' game on TV, there would be ARCO advertising all over the place, indicating the brand at least still existed in SoCal.

[@kurttoy5035]

ARCO became the "new" Atlantic in 1986. Sunoco acquired the brand two years later. Atlantic disappeared as of 1995. IIRC.

[@Sketchy_Cart6]

There was an Exxon gas station right across from this BP that closed down in 2013, and they demolished it in 2015. They started building a Starbucks and a Chiplote in 2015 replacing the Exxon gas station. It was finished in one or two months in 2015 after they started building it The BP sign still remains behind the Mattress Warehouse today, but except they only took out the picture.

[@rmx77]

the reason why the amoco name was on or is on the bp pumps is cause amaco merged with bp and that happened in 1998. In May 2008, United States BP stations mostly discontinued use of the "Amoco Fuels" logo as BP introduced its new brand of fuel, "BP Gasoline with Invigorate". BP still uses the Silver and Ultimate brands for its midgrade and premium gasolines.

[@THISBIGMIKE2222]

rmx77 it's not there own brand of fuel, it depends on which distributed it connects with thought which state

[@theroosterbooster1]

Ok, forgive me for sounding a bit dumb, but, has there been no rain or wind or any other condition that would cause a newspaper thats been sat there for apparently over 2 years to disintegrate or disappear? Would it honestly still be in that condition out in the open and all the elements?

[@ramjet-dm3tr]

theroosterbooster1 the fire extinguisher said Dec. 2014 which means it would be inspected again in Dec. Of 2015.so the paper is accurate.

[@theroosterbooster1]

I'm sorry, what has a fire extinguisher got to do with my original question? I'm asking about the deterioration of a 2 year old newspaper due to weather conditions...

[@offspringin]

theroosterbooster1 Thinking maybe the papers were in some kind of plastic free newspaper box. Possible the metal pay per paper style. Could have been picked up or stolen just before this video was made. So papers could have only been exposed to weather for a few days... just a theory. I had the same thought as you thought. 2 year old paper out in snow/rain/sun

[@mrgsp1608]

oh man yep your as dumb as shit...newpaper can be buried they did a recent drill test in a rubbish dump and drilling down about 20 meters they pulled out a newpaper dating back 60 years and still intact and readable...newpaper will last a lifetime

[@Shutupbird81]

No way that newspaper ink didn’t fade with the rain and snow. He definitely planted those there

[@keithclingan6689]

BP bought out Amoco when they came to the USA sometime in the 90s. They started the changeover by saying they were "BP featuring Amoco gasoline." For a period of time that stood until all references to Amoco were removed. Right after the Deepwater Horizon accident BP dropped servicing some Southern locations and sold them to either Marathon or Valero (I live in Mississippi and had a no-longer usable BP credit account). The only BP I have seen since the changeover is a truck stop in East Mississippi near the Alabama state line (where BP still has some stores).

BP and Amoco merged in 1998, then started phasing out the Amoco name (except for their Premium fuel to keep the Amoco trademark in use) to just only BP in the US. In 2017, BP brought back the Amoco name as a sibling brand (think Exxon and Mobil or Marathon and Arco) to increase franchise opportunities.

there was a BP station in my town for quite a few years, it was owned by some Indian and it rarely ever got any business. It was finally shut down about 3 years ago, changed into something else for a little over a year and was finally torn down and made into a Casey's General Store sometime last year.

[@bobeschwin-mat768]

Standard Oil Company became Amoco. Originally founded in Indiana in 1889. Later Amoco also absorbed American Oil Company. In 1998 Amoco merged with British Petroleum becoming BP Amoco. Most stations were rebranded as BP's selling Amoco gas. So not sure i any real Amoco stations left but BP is Amoco in all regards.

We had BP ( British Petroleum ) up here in Canada up to about 1980 when all stations were assumed by Petro Canada . They also assumed all Gulf stations too. The one in my hometown ( Port Credit ) was a PC and then a Pizza Pizza was built on its site with other shops . That one in Bridgeville looked like an idea location ! Our BP logo was the older style . BTW a friend of mine pumped gas at ours up here in 1975 -76 and they gave him a BP winter jacket with logos . I wonder if he still has it ?

[@daytonafuntim]

Amoco was bought by British Petroleum in the 2000s, IIRC. Then they did away with their Amoco branding and switched them all to BP stations, but with the Amoco fuel branding. However, a brand-new fully Amoco-branded station just opened near me in early 2020, which was refreshing to see, so perhaps they're restarting the brand?

If Amaco went out of business, then they most likely closed all of their stores. If this location was a franchise location, then sadly, the franchisee lost his/her investment.

aMAX The "For Sale" sign was probably knocked over deliberately because the property was about to be auctioned off. (Technically it's still for sale, but instead of calling the number on the sign, you have to attend the auction.) As of earlier September 2018, the site has been bulldozed (according to another commenter).

Awesome -- This is my hood! Bridgeville borough & South Fayette Township adjoin each other & share a common zip code (15017). Unfortunately, this BP gas station/Fill n' Full/car wash has now been put out of its misery & torn down. Eventually that whole I-79 interchange & Route 50 intersection are going to be redesigned & widened. You should've come to that area about 2 years ago -- there was an abandoned Exxon across the street (where that Chipoltle is now), along with an abandoned metal plant called Ionics (which was behind that McDonald's), & an abandoned Burger King (which was where the Med Express is now, seen briefly in the distance at 10:52 when you are exploring the car wash). Then, on the other side of I-79, north of the BP, there was an abandoned Knight's Inn, an abandoned Texaco station, & an abandoned Star City movie theater, which have all now been torn down as well....The whole area full of abandoned businesses, but they are now tearing them all down for retail & commercial redevelopment.

[@RoboCoonie]

There's different gas station brands all over the country. They even differ within the state. For years, we couldn't get Valero in Southern California, it was only a Northern California brand. We're starting to see Sinclair, and that's not a brand that was native to CA. BP even said they'd eventually pull the AM/PM brands out of CA, but that hasn't happened yet. We don't, however, have BP stations themselves even though we do have BP refineries. Florida has Wawa, and the east coast has brands that we don't have on the west coast.

[@dsmith9964]

True. You won't be to buy Marathon or Speedway or Thornton gas west of the Mississippi River.

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

I think it might've started out as British Petroleum during their final era under the BP shield logo (which was used by BP from 1989 to 2002) in the 1990s. Looks like one it was one of their original BP Express stores...

[@TRUCKOCD]

Here in Somerset Ky all the BP’s have been turned into Marathons, and most of the Shell’s have been turned into Valero’s. We used to have our own chain of old school full service stations called Somerset Oil but they all closed in the mid 00’s. South of us in Whitley City there was a station called “M3” which had a Burger King and a AT&T dealer all under the same roof, it closed somewhere 06-08 and so did the Burger King and AT&T, and its 2018 and the building still stands, still has everything inside, there is still drinks in the coolers.

[@largol33t1]

That's hilarious that Shell stations turn in Valero stations. In northern Texas, it's Exxon, Texaco and Shell country. Valero can barely stay alive. Near my neighborhood, I can find multiple Exxon, Texaco or Shell stations but there's just one Valero for 8 city blocks! And 7-Eleven is really digging its heels in by building another gas station less than two blocks away.

[@SpearM3064]

largol33t1 I live in northern Texas as well. There are five Valero's in my hometown, *four* of them on the Texas side of the border. It isn't that Valero is *absent* up here; there are just far fewer of them until you go further south, like Tyler (30) or Houston (a few hundred? I dunno, I'm not about to count them all!)

ITS THERE WAITING FOR YOU and they are going to throw it away anyway. You could also gain access by THE ROOF. A lot easier at nighttime.

Amoco Corporation, originally Standard Oil Company, FounderJohn D. Rockefeller. Amoco merged with British Petroleum in December 1998, forming BP Amoco. Shortly after the merger, Amoco stations began a rebranding that saw the stations change their names to the BP marque while continuing to sell Amoco-branded fuel. Eventually, all traces of the Amoco brand name were eliminated and the stations adopted the BP branding permanently, although Amoco's grade naming system is still in use. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoco

We actually have a Amoco being built here in Cedar Rapids, IA and when I want to Florida I saw one two. I thought they went out a business too.

We actually have two 76 gas stations that I know of here in south-central New Jersey, one in Jackson and the other in the neighboring town of Lakewood. They were no-name places originally, but they changed hands sometime around the Hess-Speedway buyout. I went there once when I really needed it. If I wanted to pay PA prices because I don't have cash then I'd move back to PA, lol.

This might be old news by now but in answer to the Amoco fuels question is as follows: In the 1990’s British Petroleum (BP Oil) controlled by the British Government decided to purchase certain former Standard oil company “(7 sister companies) as a result of the Standard Oil Trust of Cleveland OHIO lawsuit around 1907. The lawsuit was brought by the federal government against the Rockefeller Family the then sole owners of The. Eastern States Standard Oil Company better known as ESSO back then and in the rest of the world to this day. At the time of the lawsuit the federal government claim that Standard Oil had an unfair monopoly in the fledgling crude oil industry. The claim was that Rockefeller’s idea that they would own and control the entire business from the “ground to the pump”. That went all the associate business as well. The result was anything needed to put Gasoline in your car, oil heat in your house all the way down to cakes of paraffin wax to shine your shoes. Examples of this was that ESSO controlled railroads, trucks, ships real estate etc. the even had deals with the car industry and tire companies boost demand for oil was always growing. The end result was that in a short period ESSO controlled over 90% of the entire industry. This gave ESSO ability to stop any competition or regulation of wages, safety etc. The Federal Government won the lawsuit and The result was the creation of The U S Anti-Trust Dept to preserve competition and a free market economy. As a result, ESSO was divided in to 7 separate companies to operate in at the time the 7 main regions of the US and territories which remain to this day. Officially they are known as STANDARD OIL OF ........ New Jersey aka EXXON New York aka MOBIL Ohio aka SOHIO Indiana aka AMOCO California aka Chevron Louisiana aka GULF Kentucky aka KYSO (now known as VALVOLINE The American overseas territories aka CALTEX Was a joint venture between CHEVRON and TEXACO. It is now 100% owned by CHEVRON. The Rest of the world was not affected by the court case and is still known as ESSO. In 1990’s BP wanted to enter the US market so they decided buy a few of the Standard oil companies. The first purchased GULF oil, then the bought SOHIO and then AMOCO. As a result of contract negotiations and federal regulations certain parts of the purchased companies could not own and or control the operations. Therefore for a period of time the AMOCO brand had to be a separate entity. I m from Cleveland, Ohio and soon only Diesel fuel was branded AMOCO until 2 years ago when AMOCO disappeared completely. Two interesting side notes: The BP oil well that exploded and contaminated the Gulf of Mexico was an old GULF oil property that BP didn’t maintain properly. The second is that the company responsible for the construction and operations of the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline was a joint venture of SOHIO and BP. I hope this information answers any questions. P.S Sorry about the long windedness.
